Abstract:
We present a patient with ischemic lumbar plexopathy due to unilateral obstruction of iliolumbar artery, a branch of internal iliac artery. Although most parts of lumbar plexus and femoral nerve have rich vascularization and therefore are resistant to ischemic injury, but their poorly vascularized intrapelvic portions are vulnerable to ischeniic insults caused by stenosis or obstruction of internal iliac artery and/or its branch. So in lumbar plexopathy, angiograhpy with many other extensive examinations shoud be recommended for differentiation from various causes.
